America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 475 Another Spy
Two old acquaintances of Martin came to the ward.

The person who came from LAPD was Bradt, who had been in contact with Martin since the Burbank Middle School incident.

The person who came from the FBI was Neves, whom Martin had contacted during the Washington spy incident.

Martin maintained good relations with both sides.

The two sides greeted each other and exchanged some polite words. After someone took the routine notes, they gradually got down to business.

Neves was the first to speak: "Nine armed bandits, seven died on the spot, only two survived, one of whom had a skull fracture and could go to see God at any time, and the other will never be a man again..."

He gave Martin a thumbs up. "You only suffered minor injuries, which is really remarkable."

Martin remained silent: "In that situation, I could only fight for my life and try to get a chance to survive."

Bradt continued: "These Russians are too fierce. They have no regard for the law and commit crimes openly. They should be severely punished!"

Martin said: "It was very fierce. If I wasn't lucky enough, I might have been the one to die."

Neves said naturally: "These Russians have undergone rigorous special agent training. They are a group of killing machines. You are lucky to be alive."

Martin was slightly stunned, then guessed what Neves meant: "You are right, they are all Russians who have undergone extremely rigorous training."

Bradt smiled and said, "They are strong and professional enough. They sneaked into Los Angeles quietly. It is difficult for ordinary police officers to detect them."

Martin didn't respond, but just looked at the two people in front of him quietly.

Neves added: "After the last Washington spy case, Martin, you have once again thwarted the conspiracy of Russian spies!"

Bradt followed up: "Martin, you are worthy of being the city hero of Los Angeles."

Martin didn't want to beat around the bush with the two men. He sat on the bed and said, "I was injured and lost a lot of blood. My brain is working too slowly, so I can't really understand what you mean."

Bradt glanced at Neves.

The latter said: "According to our preliminary questioning and investigation of the two injured, they launched this attack mainly for revenge and to create chaos in order to affect the US election which is at a critical moment. Martin, you are a well-known democrat and you have personally participated in the capture of Russian spies in Washington."

Martin watched the situation unfold without saying anything.

Neves continued, “So when Guan Hai was about to arrive in Los Angeles, your colleagues and relatives in the Washington spy case launched this revenge attack against you.”

Martin looked at Bradt, with whom he had a better relationship, and asked, "Is that true?"

Bradt said: "This is the best outcome for us. You will become a national hero of the United States."

"We are friends. I will cooperate with you in every way." Martin also said with a hidden meaning: "You should at least let me know who they are and why they launched the attack. Although I have some guesses, I need more."

Bradt thought for a moment and said, "You must have guessed that the man you shot in the head with Coke was called Boris, and his grandson was shot in the head by you in the same way at Burbank Middle School!"

Martin nodded: "It's just like what I guessed. It's really a revenge."

Bradt added: "Boris's son died in a California prison."

Martin laughed helplessly: "No wonder you're fighting me to the death."

Both his son and grandson are dead, it would be strange if the old man didn’t fight hard.

Neves added: "In addition to the people who appeared at the Santa Monica Pier, Boris has six other men who were unable to enter the country due to passport issues. Some of them were stuck in the terminal and could not enter the country, or flew to Canada. We need a sufficient charge to capture these people or ask neighboring countries to help detain them and then extradite them."

Capturing a heavyweight Russian spy is a much greater achievement for the LAPD and the FBI than simply assassinating a Hollywood star.

Besides, even if Russian spies cause sabotage, it will not cause the LAPD and the FBI to lose face.

That bear is still very intimidating to the North American public.

Martin also understood these principles and said, "We are old friends. I will definitely help if I can."

Bradt understood what Martin meant and said, "Before coming here, I communicated with the higher-ups. The Los Angeles Police Department and City Hall will express their opinions. Martin, you have made outstanding contributions to the safety of Los Angeles, saved hundreds of people in the pier area, and are a representative figure in the fields of cultural communication and art. We will do our best to promote today as 'Martin Day' in Los Angeles..."

In addition to money, people naturally have spiritual pursuits, and Martin is no exception. LAPD is very sincere.

Neves said directly: "The FBI has a recommendation for the Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Martin said, "I have one now."

Neves smiled and said, "It's not the ordinary ribbon like last time. With your influence and your contribution this time, you can definitely get the special edition of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, with stars and a grand ribbon."

Martin laughed and said, "I also need an official professional certification from your FBI."

Neves asked, "What kind of certification?"

Martin said directly: "Good shooting skills and outstanding mobility, probably this kind of thing." Neves agreed immediately: "No problem, I will find a professional to certify it for you." He personally pays close attention to Martin's movies: "Is it to warm up for the gun battle action movie that will be released next year?"

Martin didn't need to deny it: "Yes, John Wick. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

Neves said, "The FBI will definitely buy tickets to support you. Seeing your killer performance today, the movie will surely be exciting."

Seeing that they had reached an agreement, Bradt said, "Russian spies are really despicable. We will not stay here any longer. Let's go back and dig out the rest and give you an explanation."

Neves also said: "I promise that all Russian spies involved in this incident will be caught in one fell swoop and will never be allowed to threaten your safety."

Martin said: "We all hate Russian spies!"

This was not the first time these two people had dealt with Martin. They had a tacit understanding on matters like this and left quickly after reaching an agreement.

Martin called Thomas again, told him the general situation and asked him to cooperate.

Elizabeth came in from outside and was about to remind Martin to have a good rest when Blanco from Cartier men's watch came again.

The Frenchman had put away the white handkerchief long ago. After coming in, he first expressed his condolences to Martin and said that all medical and work expenses would be covered by Cartier Men's Watch.

Martin expressed his gratitude and added: "I never thought that a good advertising shoot would end up like this."

He pointed to his injured left arm and said: "The commercial may not be able to be filmed in the short term, so it will have to be postponed."

"It's okay." Blanco, or Cartier Men's Watch, didn't mind at all: "You should take good care of your injury. We can talk about shooting the commercial after you recover."

Although the commercial was not finished, the impact of this incident was huge and the media was reporting on it extensively. Whenever Martin's incident was mentioned, it was mentioned that it was during the filming of the Cartier men's watch commercial.

If nothing else, the popularity of Cartier men's watches has increased again.

Moreover, in the on-site videos shot by many reporters, Martin can be seen wearing a Cartier men's watch on his left wrist.

Blanco comforted Martin: "Rest assured and don't worry. If you have any questions, please contact me. I will stay in Los Angeles during this period."

Martin nodded: "I will."

Blanco spoke a few more polite words to Elizabeth, walked out of the ward, called his assistant out of the ward building, got in the car and was not in a hurry to leave.

It was getting dark outside and the lights in the parking lot were turned on.

Blanco thought for a while and said to his assistant, "Contact the director and editor and ask them to find the footage of Martin wearing a Cartier men's watch in the video about Martin that was publicly reported today and edit a special advertisement. The remuneration and fees will still be paid according to the production of the complete advertisement."

The assistant sincerely admired him and flattered his boss: "Boss, your idea is brilliant!"

Blanco said: "It was mainly Martin's effort. If he hadn't attracted the attention of all the criminals and knocked them all down, causing heavy casualties at the scene, we might have to face huge compensation."

He told the driver: "Let's go."

Before the driver drove out of the parking lot, a luxury car drove up and parked in a nearby parking space. Three senior executives of Coca-Cola got out of the car.

Blanco kept watching them through the car window and thought that Coca-Cola's sponsorship fee was well worth it and the advertising effect was simply amazing.

Time and again, Coca-Cola is Martin's ultimate weapon!

Coca-Cola's global marketing president, Antonio Lamelas, was attending an event in California and rushed over immediately after hearing the news.

After getting off the car, Lamelas did not rush into the ward building, but called the Atlanta headquarters and asked, "How is it going? Have you made a decision?"

The CEO said, "We just had a meeting fifteen minutes ago. We have reached a unanimous decision to hire Martin Davis as the lifetime spokesperson for Coca-Cola. Atlanta will immediately organize a professional team to go to Los Angeles to hold talks with Martin. You can inform him of the good news in advance."

"This is the best comfort for him." Lamelas entered the ward building.

When it was completely dark, countless Martin supporters gathered in front of the hospital. Rachel and Phoebe stood at the front, and everyone took out a candle.

The media reporters who were broadcasting live immediately asked the cameraman to turn the live camera over.

The time Rachel specifically chose was when each news channel was broadcasting the news on time, making it convenient for major media to broadcast live.

The situation outside the medical center was broadcast live on television and the Internet and spread across North America.

Rachel and Phoebe were the first to light the candles, and countless fans at the scene also lit candles. The candle flames flickered under the night sky, and everyone looked extremely solemn.

They placed candles on the ground, folded their hands and prayed for Martin.

The constant emergence of news keeps the dock attack incident hotly debated.
